Stage Preview - EnglishUsually race comes here at the end of the week. In the "peloton" town Niš is well known by his night life, but today is Tuesday and opening stage is very fast, so there is no place for drinks and pretty girls. In absence of Angelo Furlan many sprinters will seek their chances to wear first yellow jersey. Cyclocross champion Tom Meeusen could be very fast. There are also German boys from LTK team Brandeburg and of course last years winner Ivan Stević (Team Salcano), current Serbian road race champion Der Zsolt (Team Radnicki) and promising star Jovan Zekavica who came from USA BMC Hincapie Development Team.
Overall contenders are: Ivan Stević, Esad Hasanović, Mihael Rasmussen, Fortunato Baliani, Matija Kvasina, Katusha boys ect. Race starts at 17:00h CET.
